As an example the opening 1.5 s of Big Electric Cat is missing on the CD. http://www.amazon.com/Desire-Rhino-King-Adrian-Belew/dp/B000001DTU From Belew interview: Innerviews (Anil Prasad): "Did you tinker with some of the old tracks that appeared on the Desire of the Rhino King compilation?" Belew: "[That]'s a different version of "Lone Rhino" and there's a new song that was never [commercially available] before that was on a Guitar Player flexidisc (Joan Miro's Procession...). Other than that, they're the same mixes. We remastered everything and they probably sound a little better." Innerviews: I could swear you changed the bassline on "Big Electric Cat." Belew: "That's very observant. There was a mistake in the mastering at the front of "Big Electric Cat" that cuts off the first note and seems to turn the beat around."
